Looks like this is the OG?

Like the Man who in buying an Ax of a Smith my neighbor, desired to have the whole of its Surface as bright as the Edge; the Smith consented to grind it bright for him if he would turn the Wheel. He turn’d while the Smith press’d the broad Face of the Ax hard & heavily on the Stone, which made the Turning of it very fatiguing. The Man came every now & then from the Wheel to see how the Work went on; and at length would take his Ax as it was without farther Grinding. No, says the Smith, Turn on, turn on; we shall have it bright by and by; as yet ’tis only speckled. Yes, says the Man; but—I think I like a speckled Ax best.

And I believe this may have been the Case with many who having for want of some such Means as I employ’d found the Difficulty of obtaining good, & breaking bad Habits, in other Points of Vice & Virtue, have given up the Struggle, & concluded that a speckled Ax was best.

Relevant portion. Previous stuff is the usual be more efficient and good.

I always figured this was to catch flying insects but running into them at face level at work is annoying as hell during summer months.

Recently tried to get mine working (it’s been stowed away for a while) but it’s not reading discs at all anymore or even booting to the menu screen.

We used to have to do the turn it on it’s side trick but I think it was just stuck in a dark dank basement for too long. Kinda want to rip it apart and try to fix but we shall see.

That’s what humanity is best at though. It should be no surprise.

Everyone, I’ve found Stephen Colberts Lemmy account! . . . .

Neeeeeeeerd!!!

Yep. More simplistically, exercise makes you healthy. It doesn’t make you lose fat in the long term if that’s your only goal. Only diet changes will do that.

Don’t believe him!

Factoid works. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/factoid

You might be thinking of alternative fact, lie, wives tale, myth, fallacy, falsity, fiction, fib… or factoid.

Unless it being last ditch effort ruins the effort. In which case get violent sooner…

And voila, just like that you have created warfare lol.

Thank you for all the free updates ConcernedApe. I hope you’re enjoying your time with your millions and if/when you release the Haunted Chocolatier I’ll get that too. You’re great and your game is great.

To be honest a big part of this was that it was a quasi-loot game. You had to do the rpg type mechanic where you plugged a bunch of items together that you get dropped after playing and do a ton of items synthesis. It kept you playing for ages to try new unlocks.

I’m sure the game wasn’t balanced well for characters either but for the average little shitass it was great.

Wtf who doesn’t mention Power stone 2. Arguably the best pickup brawler game ever made and still holds that title.

Record of Lodoss and Evolution are also top tier.

E: I’ve cleaned up the comment for saucing ease in case you looked at it right away but I’ll quote it here for ease.

Yep, I’m familiar with it. More from previous comments since these disingenuous memes get pedaled here regularly. People love to spout stats about AI in data centers that aren’t just used for AI without having any sense of how much CO2 is produced from really really common stuff lol. Let alone it being contingent on being run in non-renewable powered areas yet 40% of the USA’s grid is clean.

1 AI search = 10 google searches. More sauce.

How about watching TikTok? 30 minutes of video daily = 28kg of carbon a year. Calculators here: 1, 2, 3.

How about the recent ‘Oh no 1/5 a city’s water!’ The city use 770,000 gallons a day… So it uses 154,000 gallons of water for an entire piece of critical infrastructure that keeps the internet running. For the entire data center lol. And that’s for the city Carrol, Iowa with a whopping population of 10,000 people in 5 square miles lol.

A real common citation is how much carbon it takes to initially train these too. 500 tons of carbon dioxide… That’s only 33/334,000,000 Americans worth of CO2 for the year lol.

thirsty lil devils

Fwiw a LLM uses as much power as 10 regular Google searches… So it’s almost nothing in the grand scope of things. It might even save some for the people who don’t know how to utilize search engines properly.

We also need more data centers, not fewer. And they use almost no water compared to other utilities.

It sounds like the tests confirmed they had IDs and got the help they needed.

This is exactly how it’s supposed to work lol.

Let’s not pretend verifiably ‘slow’ people with intellectual disabilities don’t exist please. Pretending these people don’t exist or acting like the severity of their symptoms aren’t absolutely something that they need help with doesn’t make these issues go away. It makes them worse. It hasn’t worked for any other issue where people didn’t want to call a spade a spade.

It hasn’t worked for any neurodivergent people for the last 40 years where parents and society wanted to pretend everyone was the same despite people drowning and needing help for fear of being ‘different’ or oh no their brain and body work fine no medications or doctors for us thanks!

Being different is okay. Everyone needs help in different ways. It’s shit like the above that causes these kids to think they are.

Don’t forget the opposite.

Do your job please.

But that’s not how I taught myself to do it!

Points to SOP.

Sorry I’ve never done it the correct way so I no longer consider it my job and I know the job better than you despite you doing the same thing for years…

…God I hope fuck up seriously enough that HR can actually fire you.
